NORWALK, CT — The city issued a reminder this week that Norwalk residents have until Aug. 1 to pay their property tax bills and sewer use charges.

According to a news release, property tax bills include real estate, motor vehicles and business personal property taxes. These bills reflect the first installment of charges due on the grand list of Oct. 1, 2021.

The tax collector's office began mailing residents these bills on June 24. By law, these bills are due on July 1, but residents have a grace period of Aug. 1, according to the city.

As long as residents pay by Aug. 1, there is no interest charge, city officials said.

Residents can pay their tax bills in person, by mail, online, or by telephone and can learn more by visiting the tax collector's home page at www.norwalkct.org/taxcollector.

Anyone who chooses to pay in person can come to the Tax Collector's Office at City Hall located at 125 East Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06851, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Payments can be made by check, money order, cash, credit card, debit card or ATM card.

Additionally, residents who wish to pay in person can go to one of the following Norwalk bank branch locations: Bankwell, Fairfield County Bank, M & T Bank, Norwalk Bank and Trust, Patriot National Bank, or Webster Bank.

There is no charge for this service, and residents do not need to be a customer of the bank to use this service, according to the city. This service is being offered through Aug. 1.
